Book Reviews of the Undead and Unworthy (Queen Betsy, Book 7)
Customer Review: A little bit at a loss
Summary: 4 Stars
By Diane Raetz (West Milford, NJ) - See all my reviews
I'm a little bit at a loss here. I refer to MaryJanice Davidson's books as the ultimate sugar high. When I'm depressed and need a lift I open a Betsy, Fred, Alaska or Cyborg story. 15 minutes later I'm laughing and enjoying a light literary romp.
This is not one of those books.
On the other hand I really like when authors try to make their books about something more significant than (forgive me MJD) the hottest pair of Jimmy Choos. This book was supposed to be a test of Betsy's strength under pressure, and she passed with flying colors. I woke up with morning still thinking about Undead and Unworthy. And that doesn't happen every time I read a book.
***SPOILERS***
The Fiends get living (living dead?) blood from Garrett and in the process get smart. They're mad, they're bad and they're not going to take it anymore. They're also are killers and eliminate several people in this book including one of my favorite background characters. Other repeat characters die as the result of a police investigation that Nick drags Betsy into.
I had problems with Tina and Sinclair behavior this time around. They're harsh beyond belief when dealing with the Fiends. When one of them came to talk one-on-one all they wanted to do was kill her instead of come to a resolution between the fiend's problems and their own. The characterization was off and they didn't seem to be the "people" I've been spending time with them for 7 books now.
Finally the Ant returns-for no reason at all. She was just there to bug Betsy and The Queen has more than enough problems on her hand without the pineapple haired menace.
